Question

Research on HIV by Rowniak (2009) found that a social transformation has taken place since the inception of improved treatments for AIDS that make it more of a manageable disease than an imminent killer. Specifically, the research found that the response to this "less than a death sentence" diagnosis has caused what some researchers refer to as _______________ that can lead to a rise in infection rates.

Answer 1

Answer:

Safe Sex Fatigue

Explanation:

This “less than a death sentence” diagnosis for AIDs is referred by researchers as safe sex fatigue. The researchers described safe sex fatigue as inability to maintain safe sex practices for e.g. use of condom. The concept of safe sex fatigue acknowledges the importance of other treatment options such as anti-retroviral therapy as a reason for abandoning safe sex practices.
